The holy Tirumala shrine holds utmost respect and sacred power in the Hindu community. Incidentally, there have been some questionable implementations at TTD, which governs the Tirumala temple, since the onset of the YCP government.
Incidentally, Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan visited the Tirumala temple earlier today to seek blessings from Lord Balaji.
This led to a heated discussion on social media with regard to the declaration of faith, which has been a custom for many years.
Netizens are questioning if SRK had declared in his faith in Lord Balaji before he was let into the Tirumala temple. This is with regard to the age-old custom where non-Hindus have to declare their faith in Lord Balaji if they’re to enter the temple.
But Jagan flouted this while he was in opposition by not signing the declaration before entering the temple. And then when he came to power, the custom was removed for good as YV Subba Reddy announced there is no need for non-Hindus to sign declaration, thus putting an end to decades long tradition.
Now, the incident where SRK, being a Muslim, entered the temple without an age old custom of declaration has become a hot topic. There’s a national level discussion on Jagan’s controversial decision to remove the age-old declaration system.
